Funded Activity Summary

Semantic categories: Exploring the history of the Baining languages of Island Melanesia. The project adds to our knowledge of the historical, linguistic and ethnic relationships within Island Melanesia, thus contributing directly to our understanding of the complexities of this region. This regional focus expands Australia's expertise in Melanesian research, and reaffirms Australia's leading position in this area. Such expertise attracts outstanding international students and researchers to Australia, strengthens the Australian research community, and increases the international visibility of Australian-based research. Furthermore, studying semantic categories provides a unique insight into how speakers of different languages categorise the world around and within them, thereby facilitating intercultural understanding.
